The Stabilization Of pLaques usIng Darapladib-Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction 52 Trial (SOLID-TIMI 52)

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government.
Read our disclaimer for details.

This study will test whether darapladib can safely lower the chances of having a cardiovascular event (such as a heart attack or urgent coronary revascularization (e.g. medical procedures performed to restore the normal blood flow in patients with atherosclerosis)) when treatment is started within 30 days after an acute coronary syndrome (also called ACS).

Phase 3

Detailed Description:

Subjects who qualify for the study will be randomized 1:1 to either darapladib or placebo administered in addition to standard therapy. Following the baseline visit, subjects will be expected to return for clinic visits at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and every 6 months until the end of the study.

Number of Participants With First Occurrence of Any Event in the Composite of Major Coronary Events During the Time Period for Follow-up (FU) of Cardiovascular (CV) Event [ Time Frame: From randomization until the End-of-Treatment visit or the last date on which endpoints were able to be assessed (up to 3.80 years) ]

Coronary heart disease (CHD) death=occurrence of a fatal myocardial infarction (MI), death caused by documented cardiac arrest, death resulting from heart failure in a participant with known CHD, death from other forms of acute/chronic CHD, unwitnessed death of unknown origin, or sudden death. Acute MI=evidence of myocardial necrosis in a clinical setting consistent with myocardial ischemia. Prior MI diagnosed post-randomization (e.g., silent MI)=the development of new pathological Q waves with/without symptoms OR imaging evidence of a region of loss of viable myocardium that is thinned and fails to contract, in the absence of a nonischemic cause (pre-event imaging data required for verification of new abnormality), OR pathological findings of a healed/healing MI. Urgent coronary revascularization (CR) for MI=ischemic discomfort at rest that prompted CR during the same hospitalization or resulted in hospital transfer for the purpose of CR.

CV death=death due to a CV cause, which included but was not limited to deaths resulting from stroke, arrhythmia, sudden death (witnessed/unwitnessed), MI, heart failure, pulmonary embolism, peripheral arterial disease, or complications of a CV procedure. Deaths not clearly attributable to non-CV causes are considered to be CV deaths. Acute MI=evidence of myocardial necrosis in a clinical setting consistent with myocardial ischemia. Prior MI diagnosed post-randomization (e.g., silent MI)=the development of new pathological Q waves with/without symptoms OR imaging evidence of a region of loss of viable myocardium that is thinned and fails to contract, in the absence of a non-ischemic cause (pre-event imaging data required for verification of new abnormality), OR pathological findings of a healed/healing MI. Stroke=presence of a new focal neurologic deficit thought to be of vascular origin, with signs/symptoms lasting >24 hours or results in death (in <24 hours).

Number of Participants With Cardiovascular Death During the Time Period for Follow-up of Cardiovascular Events [ Time Frame: From randomization until the End-of-Treatment visit or the last date on which endpoints were able to be assessed (up to 3.80 years) ]

CV death is defined as a death due to a CV cause, which includes but is not limited to deaths resulting from stroke, arrhythmia, sudden death (witnessed/unwitnessed), MI, heart failure, pulmonary embolism, peripheral arterial disease, or complications of a CV procedure. Deaths not clearly attributable to non-CV causes are considered to be CV deaths.

Number of Participants With CHD Death During the Time Period for Follow-up of Cardiovascular Events [ Time Frame: From randomization until the End-of-Treatment visit or the last date on which endpoints were able to be assessed (up to 3.80 years) ]

CHD death is defined as the occurrence of a fatal MI, death caused by documented cardiac arrest, death resulting from heart failure in a participant with known CHD, death from other forms of acute/chronic CHD, unwitnessed death of unknown origin, or sudden death.

Number of Participants With Urgent Coronary Revascularization for Myocardial Ischemia During the Time Period for Follow-up of Cardiovascular Events [ Time Frame: From randomization until the End-of-Treatment visit or the last date on which endpoints were able to be assessed (up to 3.80 years) ]

Urgent coronary revascularization for myocardial ischemia is defined as ischemic discomfort at rest that prompts coronary revascularization (PCI or coronary artery bypass graft [CABG]) during the same hospitalization or resulting in hospital transfer for the purpose of coronary revascularization. PCI is defined as any attempt at revascularization even if not successful (e.g., angioplasty, atherectomy or stenting).

Number of Participants With First Occurrence of Any Event in the Composite of Total Coronary Events (CHD Death, Non-fatal MI, Hospitalization for Unstable Angina, or Any Coronary Revascularization Procedure) During the Time Period for FU of CV Events [ Time Frame: From randomization until the End-of-Treatment visit or the last date on which endpoints were able to be assessed (up to 3.80 years) ]

CHD death, acute MI, and prior MI diagnosed post-randomization are defined in the primary endpoint (major coronary events). Hospitalization for unstable angina=one of the following, but not fulfilling the criteria for MI: ischemic discomfort at rest associated with electrocardiogram (ECG) changes leading to hospitalization; ischemic discomfort at rest regardless of ECG changes leading to hospitalization and revascularization during the same admission; ischemic discomfort at rest in hospital associated with ECG changes; ischemic discomfort at rest in hospital without ECG changes resulting in revascularization during the same admission. NOTE: The event was not considered to be unstable angina if, after invasive/non-invasive testing or other diagnostic testing, the discomfort was found not to be caused by myocardial ischemia. Coronary revascularization procedures exclude PCI planned prior to randomization but performed after randomization.

Number of Participants With First Occurrence of Any Coronary Revascularization Procedures (Excluding Coronary Revascularization Planned Prior to Randomization, But Performed After Randomization) During the Time Period for Follow-up of Cardiovascular Event [ Time Frame: From randomization until the End-of-Treatment visit or the last date on which endpoints were able to be assessed (up to 3.80 years) ]

All coronary revascularization procedures (except for PCI planned prior to randomization but performed after randomization) are included. Examples include coronary artery bypass graft, balloon angioplasty and stenting. The number of participants, with first occurrence of any coronary revascularization procedures, were reported.
